Content Type - Alert

The Alert content type in Drupal is typically configured to handle time-sensitive messages that need to be visible across the website, such as:

• Maintenance notifications
• News announcements
• Alerts for system downtime
• Temporary warnings or promotions
   

The alert will appear as banner that is present across the top of every page on a website.
 

Add and Publish an Alert

1. Go to Content > Add content > Alert.
2. Fill in the Title (e.g., "Scheduled Maintenance").
3. Add the Body (e.g., "Our website will undergo maintenance from 2 PM to 4 PM on February 6th").
4. Save and Publish:

• One at a Time: Only one alert can be actively published on your site at a time
• Timely Updates: Alerts are great for showing time-sensitive information. Be sure to remove or update them after they expire to avoid clutter.
• Clear and Concise: Keep the messages short and to the point.
